You need to give more info. What are you using for solution? What PH is it right now? What temp is it? Is it a sterile res? Are you using pool shock or bleach, peroxide? If so, how much. Otherwise, all anyone can say is yup they're not looking good. Also what kind of light are you using and what are the temps in the room and humidity? Then we can give you some good advice to either save them or fix it so it doesn't happen again.

You have a few that look like they are working. Not bad for being inexperienced, not great for someone that has been growing for 12 years. Humidity looks low. Some of them look like they are flowering.
Are you cloning autos? I mean, it can be done. It's a lot of work chief.
I would crank up the CO2 and humidity (foliar spray with seltzer water, if you don't have a fog machine), swap out the rez, toss the flowering cuttings, or at least snip the buds off as well as your yellowed leaves at their base. I take the time to snip off browning parts of leaves too. I'm sure there are plenty of people on here that would argue against everything that I stated, but I get better than good results in less than two weeks.

Changing the water, ditching any that are rotting , and giving them not too much light is important. I use town water and it works great, It has chloramine in it. If you use well water consider sterilizing it.

I think to much food or not enough. They aren't eating...high or low ec or maybe ph, that's where I would start

Did you buy that used?
Aero cloner
Add water check every week for clogged jets
Add a few granules of pool shock every couple weeks
Make sure water temp stay below 80f
No nutrients or additives needed or desired
Wait two weeks to check stems

nizza is steering you right.
Low light and pure water.And no light in the res.
Everyone notice that,clones look great and then they start to yellow,well that is about the time root nodes start to develop and are now starting to drink,
Dont use ferts untill the root nodes form.and use 150 to 200ppm.
Use H2O2 hydrogen peroxide in the res,

Are you getting slime on your cuttings stems?if so dose it look like pythium

Pool shock
I noticed slime on my clones yesterday morning, I gave them H202 as a temporary measure.

I'm going to mix pool shock later today but I'm wondering if I need to change the water?

It's a pain to change it I'd rather not unless it's really neccaserry, the clones aren't terribly important and I'm busy with other stuff atm.

It may cloud up your solution, it may not.

I’ve found H2o2 to be terribly unstable compared to shock, Ive stopped using h2o2 completely and shock every reservoir I mix to keep them sterile.

Thanks guys, for future reference is the slime caused by the temperature of the water or using the same water for too long without bleach/shock?

My well water starts smelling in about a week without pool shock
With shock I leave it in my cloner for a couple months at a time
Only reason I change it is to clean inserts and pump of calcium
Also in my hard water
